Yes, I'd expect tab order to be "First" "Fourth" "Third" "Second" "Fifth" "Eighth" "Seventh" "Sixth" "Ninth". (Seen in Chrome 13 and head and I suspect all other webkit-based browsers.)

That is, I'd expect the tab order to reflect the display order rather than HTML order. That said, I agree with you that the spec leaves this open and it isn't immediately obvious what to do. On the other hand, tabindex is fraught and usually better left alone, and my intuition here is informed by the context: the box-direction isn't impacting the tab ordering as it seems it should. Which is to say, my intuition is that if the layout reverses because of this markup, then the browser-picked tab ordering ought to reverse as well (absent any tabindex, which ought to dominate).

I'll email webkit-dev as you suggest. Thanks!
